Please, help create a regular expression that looking for the word "aaa" and "llll" in the text (not in one line).

Text example 1 (three lines):

aaa bbbbb ccc
jjj pppppppp mmmm
fff ggg llll www zzzz

Text example 2 (three lines):

aaa bbbb gggg
dddd kkkk
mmmm ttttt

In Example 1, the regular expression should be "true". In Example 2, the regular expression should be "false".

    What's your regex look like so far? – brbcoding Jul 30 '13 at 19:02
  • if you remove the first word "Help", this could become a question in exam, or homework question. – Kent Jul 30 '13 at 21:37
  • Now it's "aaa.+llll" (check only one line). How to correct expression to check other lines also? – user1517254 Jul 31 '13 at 04:26
  • Can you post the command that you're using to test your regex? Most POSIX tools don't really support multiline matches anyway . . . – ruakh Aug 03 '13 at 01:45
  • Sorry for the delay. This is not a command, the regular expression I need to specify in the application that checks the text for a match. I don't now how the application works, but if you can help with the preparation of expression, I will be grateful. – user1517254 Aug 07 '13 at 15:26
